SHORTRIDGE DAILY ECHO
VOL. XXVII. NO. 71. SHORTRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL, INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1924. TWO CENTS
CHRISTMAS VACATIONS
PLANNED BY TEACHERS
Most of the Faculty Seem Reluctant to Admit Their Holiday Plans.
There must be a mystery
about the faculty's Christmas
vacations as they all seem reluctant to tell their plans. Mr.
Stubbs was quite shy and didn't
want to tell his plans, so he
wasn't urged; besides, he said,
"I haven't any."
Mr. Dirks finally gave his layout for the first week, but the
second week he said was too far
in advance.
"Monday I shall help at the
church.
"Tuesday I shall decorate the
Christmas tree.
"Wednesday I will take baskets around to the poor.
"Thursday—Well, Christmas.
"Friday I shall recover from
the effects of Christmas.
"Saturday I will do as my
wife wishes.
"Sunday is the day of rest,
and I will do as I please." Thus
ended his Christmas plans.
Mr. and Mrs. Watson will
spend their time at Tipton, Indiana, eating Christmas dinner
with Mr. Watson's parents.
Miss Ashbrook feels that it
will be heavenly to be in the
country, where she intends to
go during Christmas vacation.
Mrs. Weathers says that if
her plans were published we
should think something was
wrong with her. Whether the
fault is mental or physical has
not been ascertained.

ALL PLANS COMPLETE
FOR SENIOR FIJN-FEST
CANDY SALE.
The Boosters will hold a second
candy sale, at (he-mime, Friday.
Girls who donate candy are asked
lo hriiur it to Mrs. Thompson's
office, Friday.
BASKETEERS PREPARE
FOR RIPPLE RATTLE
Basket Team Shows Fast Work
in Practice for First of
City Series.
The local basket squad, with
the prestige and experience of
two heard-earned victories, is
soeeding un practice in nreoara-
tion for the game with Broad
Ripple Friday night.
Coach Burton has ben giving
all his attention to a one-man
offense. Yesterday he ran the
men through, dribblinjr and
awarding practices, with the
view of perfecting a much more
effective offense, and one that
may be easily turned into an
effective defense.
The Rippleites have not made
a vtjry impressive record this
season, but the locals are not
over-confident. The topheavy
score in last Friday's curtain-
raiser may be a fair indication
of the score, but the locals will
"•ive a battle that will keel the
Ripple lads on their feet every
second-

Work Will be Shown in New

Jewelry is a phase of the
Shortridge curriculum of which
Uttle seems to be known by
many of the students. The Jewelry Shop is an interesting corner of our school and is gaining
for itself a name throughout the
country. Twelve pieces of student's work will be on exhibition during the Christmas holidays at the Columbia University
Library. An exhibit of chalices
made by Mrs. Janet Bowles,
instructor here at Shortridge,
for Canadian churches will be
made at Quebec; and at the Art
Center Gallery in New York,
one hundred and twenty pieces
made by Mrs. Bowles will be
shown.
Another honor has come to
this department in an invitation to Mrs. Bowles to read a
paper before the New York Philosophical Society, on "My Own
Experiences, Psychologically Interpreted." She will show several students' work to illustrate
her teaching experience. These
pieces illustrate problems in
which the pupils had to emble-
mize in form certain emotions
which they knew they had felt,
thus learning how emotion
should be practically used in
art.
Ail Shortridgers have now
had a chance to observe the
"silent policeman" which was
recently installed at North and
Pennsylvania streets. This was
secured for us through the efforts of Mrs. George Finfrock,
Chairman of the Civic Committee, and Vice-President of the
Parent-Teachers' Association.
Mrs. Finfrock said that she had
often observed the danger, and
that many parents of Shortridge
students, and also young Shortridge teachers had spoken to
her of this corner.
As Chairman of the Civic
Committee of the city Parent-
Teachers' Association, she wrote
to the Board of Safety, and also
notified Captain Glenn of the
conditions at this corner. Mrs.
